Dissertation
The quantitative study examines capital spending between public HBCUs and PWIs in the State of Alabama. The examination includes 13 academic years (2004 to 2016) in a state where the United States v. Fordice (1992) decision mandated the dismantling of ‘de facto segregation’ practices. The conceptual framework for the study is based on ‘defacto segregation’ and the research literature of Sav (2000), Minor (2008), and Gasman (2011). Prior studies have shown that disparities exist in capital spending levels among the two groups of institutions based on full time equivalent (FTE). Further, the research was expanded to determine if there is correlation between capital spending and student success measures (enrollment, retention, graduation and completions). The results show that there is correlation of capital spending to enrollment, retention, graduation and degrees awarded.
